just to add,

and its now saying that the virtualbox repo has an error

Valid metadata not found for specified URL

Hi and welcome to the Forum

Those are not the standard Tumbleweed or leap repositories in the URL;

eg: http://download.opensuse.org/distrib...9/repo/non-oss

I would expect http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/non-oss/

So, did you run some sort of command to create those URL's? Are you sure your running Tumbleweed?

Can you post the output from;

Code:

zypper lr -d
cat /etc/os-release

On a side note if you are running Tumbleweed, the ONLY method to use is the command zypper dup for updating to the next released distribution...

Hi
So if you fire up YaST -> Software Repositories and disable ALL of the repositories with "leap/20190829" in them and the post back the new output from the command;

Code:

zypper lr -d

This is to check all is good before the next step

**staggerlee011** · 31-Aug-2019, 15:10

sorry stupid im sure but where is yast? i dont see it listed under applications.

Hi
It should be there, if not let's use zypper instead and can come back to that.

Code:

zypper mr -d -F 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

So the mr = modify, the -d = disable and the -F = no-refresh, there are a couple of repositories missing, but lets get your system updated (and hopefully YaST will come back to life...)

Once that is done, please post zypper lr -d again

You need to disable 16 and 17 as well. You now have a mix of Tumbleweed and 2 Leap versions on the system which leads to the results you're experiencing.
After doing so, you also need to run

Code:
